yay! so excited about this! I'm a big fan of your work! my plans for this weekend: send the 2 older boys + the hubs off to camp with boyscouts, then the 4 yr old and I will join them for dinner/campfire, then come home +sleep in my own bed! Got 4 custom order art pieces to work on too!

- Friend's soccer game Saturday afternoon- Dinner and shopping with a girlfriend Sat night- Watertubing adventure ... going to float down a river with a cooler of drinks!- Hopefully find time to clean my diastrous apartment, take my dog out to play, and PAINT.

Not a bad line up ... ps, I am in love with the new line of duvets with your designs. BEAUTIFUL. I must save up for one.

I LOVE this painting btw! This weekend, I am going to take a field trip to this HUGE antique/flea market (22,000 square feet of fun!) and then I have a big crab feast Saturday night, and relaxing and enjoying my found treasures on Sunday. Happy Friday!

My husband is having to work this weekend but not before we have taken the kids swimming. It will be the first time in the pool for my daughter Aysha, she is just 3 months and quite a water baby if her bath times are anything to go by, so looking forward to it.

My fiance is working all weekend and my youngest daughter is going to her granny's house...so my plans are to take my mom shopping for a belated birthday (Aug. 15) gift. I prefer she pick out what she likes (and we get quality time together!). Then, I plan to make some more mail art packages for my lovely friends.

I am going to cocoon in an attempt to get over a 'nasty' summer cold. Aren't they the worst?Love your work.I am the world's most unlucky person, so the fact that I entered will boost everyone elses chances.peace,Cat

Hi Valentina.I came across your work through Kal Barteski's website. I am in love with your style and it feels to me that your honest nature has created a sense that I've known you forever. You definitely inspire me, so thank you for that.This weekend:My husband comes home tonight (he works away all week) and I can not wait to see him. We are taking our sweet daughter camping at a local lake where we will fish, boat, paddle, swim and enjoy each other in the last glory days before school starts. Then on Sunday we will return home to prepare my sweetheart to go off to work yet again. It will be fast, but full of fun and memories and love.Hope your weekend is full of happy too.Dalyce @ Free Bird Mixed Media ART.

I'm taking a road trip to my local university. The classics museum there is opening for the school year this saturday and I'm going to practice drawing some of the plaster casts of classical statues they have on display.

This is the first of 10 days I have off from work... 10 days of staycation!!! My plans include:* Sleep as much as I want* Prepare and eat healthy food everyday* Spend plenty of time outside and take a nice long walk everyday* Make some pastepapers* Workup a new series of books* Post all my current books to Etsy.

I am going in for surgery on Monday and am terrified of hospitals so this weekend I'll be doing everything I can to distract myself. I'm hoping to finish some art projects I have on the go (a couple of textured art journals, one large canvas and a hanging heart ornament). Have a great weekend.

Oh my! What a great giveaway! Lets see tonight is kids sleepover at my house, tomorrow we're going to Fl house that used to be home to Thomas Edison during the winter. http://www.edisonfordwinterestates.org/Its in Ft. Myers. Then Sunday is gear up for school starting on Tuesday. :) Hope you have a good weekened.

Best giveaway! This is the canvas that I wanted to order from urban outfitters but they can't ship it anywhere in canada :( .This weekend my best friend is coming back into town , she moved away about 3 weeks and I'm super excited!!!! The reason she's coming down is because it's out other best friends birthday this saturday so we are going to go camping and go to some water slides ! Gonna be a super awesome weekend hanging out and partying with all my closest friends!

Valentina, I have been really drawn to your work since I first came across two days ago on the “Uncommon” website. I love elephants and one of my favorite pieces is the Ganesh you painted – he is the elephant headed Hindu Deity who in India is believed to be, “Vignaharta – the remover of obstacles”. He also has more than a hundred names! So the next time you are in trouble, like you were with your thumb, offer it to him and you might get magic!

This weekend is a time for me to heal and seek peace as I have a difficult week coming up.

I am going to spend the weekend with my kids. We have soccer practice and lots of laundry to keep us busy. I was so excited for them to get back to school, but after only one week I miss them already. Lots of snuggles on the agenda.

I'm spending Saturday ferrying my girls to and from dance classes, and working on felted owls for a birthday party surprise for one very special almost 6 year old. Sunday is church and trying to relax a bit before the next school week begins.

Valentina, you have such a unique, adorable style and lots of us look up to the way you are marketing yourself. Fantastic!

If the winner is the person with the most fun, interesting weekend, then I guess I already lost, but here is what I am doing:

1. Bring my husband back after dropping off the car for an oil change.2. Weekly shopping at Publix.3. A little picking up.4. Finish up my watercolor entry for the Miami Watercolor Society Fall Exhibit.5. Call Sunday night and find out if I am picked for jury duty starting Monday.....yuck!

what a fun giveaway! i'm headed to long beach to help my mom move into her classroom - the school year is starting already! then i'm driving my husband up to santa barbara so he can buy a motorcycle. yikes! :-P

What a wonderful giveaway! This weekend, I am moving in to a college dorm for the very first time. In other words, I get to figure out where my room, classes, food, and new friends are. I'm super nervous, but very happy to be in Boulder Colorado. ;)

OMG How cool! I am visiting with my mom-in-law and settling into our new house. I just bought frames yesterday for your birds that I bought a while back. I'll be putting them up! Yay - finally! A home worthy of them! :)

I have worked all weekend! Babysat five kids Friday night, ages 6, 10, 10, 11, and 12. Then Saturdays I nanny for a 4 year old little girl. And today I got up nice and early to head to the church where I work in the preschool! I'll be headed back for night service in a few hours.

It's Sunday night, here's what we did: made homemade bread, lemon squares, and yeast rolls, swimming, sleeping, discovered the toad in our sandbox had babies, played with friends, painted, watched a movie, more sleeping, smooches with yummy hubby, snuggles with little one, coordinated an upcoming potluck, went to a star gazing party out on a nature trail, Saturday night bookstore, and had one delicious nap! Hope your weekend was lovely.
